Has the oil leak from the tappet cover been fixed?You get rubber washers for the tappet cover bolts.Just use a bit of silicone marker(red) and use the new washers.I would suggest you change all 4 and then torque the bolts correctly.This should stop the oil leak.Please do not over tighten the bolts or the tappet cover will get damaged.

I Have a problem with my maruti 800 car, its engine comes to stops during running after 5 / 10 Kms. and does not start immediately - with a gap of about 15 to 30 min. if tried the engine sometimes starts - as per the mechanic instruction the fuel pump was replaced with the new one but the problem is still the same - someone there to guide for a solution for this please.

I hope your car does not overheat and stop, is the temperature fine ??. Also check the spark plugs.
Also the ignition coil maybe the culprit. Check the ign coil when the car stops like this. If the coil/resistor is too hot then replace it.

I bought a maruti 800 2003 model (with LPG and AC) on Nov 2nd 2013. After few kms of drive i observed that the RPM is fluctuating. Some times car runs as smooth as if its floating. and some times it viberates like old nokia phones .

After reading the replies here, I asked my mechanic to check IAC, spark plugs. He cleaned IAC for jams and installed new spark plugs, the problem seem resolved but only for a day. I came back again. He tried tuning the engine but the problem is still there. With LPG and AC, it even vibrates more.

I believe since this is happening only some times, this should be some minor problem.

can any one suggest me if i am missing anything or tell me some good mechanic here in Hyderabad to fix this issue.

i have bought a 1997 maruti 800 dx today.
it has done 50500 kms earlier.
i would like to have few suggestions from you all regarding the general maintenance of the car.

i also have been reading in some other threads earlier that in the older 800's breaking is not very good and we can install a booster to improve breaking.
have any one got it done here in hyderabad and if so, where and how much did it cost.
though the car i purchased is an AC model, its cooling is very low and the true value showroom executive says that i have to fill AC gas and it would be ok.
he also says i can get it done at any car garage and no need to take to maruti service as it would be a bit expensive there.
in my car placing the gear to 2nd is not very smooth as it is for 1st, 3rd n 4th,, is it that because i need something to be worked upon gearbox or am i not able to shift properly, as sometimes it is very smooth.
pickup is also good as i have been shifting to 4th insted of 2nd but the car never stalled, it just keeps moving but then i realise that i put it in 4th because the engine doesn't respond properly to my right foot pressure.
